Set in a peaceful location alongside the River Dever, this charming thatched cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside that is perfect for all manner of outdoor pursuits. The historic city of Winchester is a short car journey away and offers a great selection of shops, cafes and restaurants, ideal for a relaxed day spent browsing. Should you be able to tear yourself away from the tranquillity of the cottage, you will find many attractions such as Stonehenge, Salisbury and Avebury are easily accessible, ensuring there is no shortage of things to do here. Why not try your hand at fly fishing in the nearby Test Valley or simply enjoy long country walks with your four legged friends.
Tucked up a quiet lane, through automatic wooden gates you will find Riverside Cottage. There is ample parking and a small gate and a path leads you to the beautiful cottage front door with roses either side. A spacious entrance hall with separate WC, piano and wood burner leads firstly into the lounge where you can relax, with its open fire and plenty of character features. To the right of the hallway is a bright lower ground floor bedroom.
